Phys. Rev. D 80, 104037 (2009) [6 pages]Geodetic precession in squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole spacetimesReceived 2 September 2009; published 30 November 2009 We investigate the geodetic precession effect of a parallelly transported spin vector along a circular geodesic in five-dimensional squashed Kaluza-Klein black hole spacetime. Then we derive the higher-dimensional correction of the precession angle to general relativity. We find that the correction is proportional to the square of (size of extra dimension)/(gravitational radius of central object). © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
